Providing sensitive, sensible solutions during trying circumstances

Often, when dealing with larger firms in Skokie or Northfield, Illinois, or elsewhere in the Chicagoland area, you are told what is happening with your case, rather than asked how you’d like your case to proceed.

Our Skokie family lawyer goes beyond divorce and child custody cases. There are times when you need a skilled attorney who is dauntless in the pursuit of justice and your rights. Our lawyer successfully works with individuals in Skokie and its surrounding communities beyond the scope of divorce proceedings in the following areas:

  • Paternity/legitimization—Family court takes parental support and custody seriously. We work with parents to determine parental legitimacy.

For mothers, determining paternity can garner support for raising your child.
